Parasitic organisms are those that live at the expense of other organisms. Often, parasites feed on other animals. For example, mosquitos are parasites because they feed on the blood of other living things. Mosquitoes sometimes carry parasitic microorganisms too, like plasmodium falciparum, which is the protozoan that causes malaria.
